Rags & Ribbons play melodic rock anthems driven by classically-inspired piano. Progressive and post-rock influences by way of Queen, Muse, Arcade Fire and Sigur Ros color these intricate pop songs, expressing desire, yearning, regret and joy like only pop can. This Portland, Oregon band’s debut album, "The Glass Masses" features elaborately structured songs with rich harmonies and dramatic hooks.

QUEEN CAVEAT, the hard-hitting, explosive Los Angeles-based rock band led by maniacal front-woman Lauren Little, kicked off 2012 with a bang as they released their much-anticipated sophomore studio EP, “Slap on the Wrist”. The wild success of their first EP, “Emptor” ultimately led the band to a much-hyped string of packed showcases at Austin’s SXSW Festival 2011/2012, followed shortly by a headlining slot at The Roxy Theatre for The Sunset Strip Music Festival 2011. Performances at both festivals drew rave reviews from fans, bloggers, and music executives around the country, including NBC’s Jimmy Lloyd who called the shows “an adrenaline shot directly to your jugular vein” and a “journey into the black heart of the universe”. Music lovers across the country took note, as news of the re-invention of the “LA Rock” sound spread like wildfire. With the world-famous Sunset Strip as their home turf, QUEEN CAVEAT mobilized their burgeoning fan base to a series of widely acclaimed shows around the west coast.

The enormous buzz earned the attention of ABC News, who featured QUEEN CAVEAT in a 2-hour 20/20 documentary titled “Sunset Boulevard”, on April 21st, 9pm-11pm EST 2012.

Combining their love of anthemic 70s arena rock with the incendiary spirit of Jane's Addiction, Echoes de Luxe mixes the best of the past with a progressive sensibility on sophomore EP Hold On. The truth is, it's difficult to pigeonhole the three piece collective. The seven tracks on Hold On run the gamut from soaring, arena-ready anthems to restrained slow burns, creating a listening experience that is simultaneously familiar and fresh, accessible yet challenging.

"The group has been compared to Jimmy Eat World and Tears for Fears with its powerful vocals and flowing instrumentals. Ben Flanagan's vocals can be described as reserved and melodic, but he can also belt out rock chants with ease. The band is currently playing gigs on the west coast, with shows in California, Nevada and Arizona." Tunemein.com
